What Are Modules?
Modules are the building blocks that appear in specific positions around your pages — sidebars, headers, footers, and more. They display things like search bars, menus, recent articles, custom HTML content, images, and social media links.
Viewing Your Modules
- Go to Content > Site Modules in the top menu.
- You'll see a list of all modules with their position, status, and type.
- Use the Position filter to see modules assigned to a specific area of your site.
Editing a Module
- Click the module title to open it.
- Update the content, title, or settings as needed.
- Click Save & Close.
Common Module Types
- Custom HTML — A free-form block where you can add any text, images, or HTML content. Great for announcements, sidebar content, or footer text.
- Menu — Displays a navigation menu in a specific position.
- Latest Articles — Shows your most recent articles from a selected category.
- Search — Adds a search bar to your site.
- Breadcrumbs — Shows the visitor's current location in your site hierarchy.
Module Positions
Each module is assigned to a position in your site's template. Common positions include:
- sidebar-left / sidebar-right — Side columns next to your main content.
- footer — The bottom section of every page.
- topbar — Above the main navigation.
- banner — Full-width area below the header.
Tips
- You can restrict modules to specific pages using the Menu Assignment tab — show a sidebar only on your blog, for example.
- Unpublish a module to hide it without deleting it.
